Pho Tai

We were looking for some quick lunch with zero line. And this was it! They said to seat ourselves anywhere which we did. The menu has quite a bit of things in there. But I ordered brisket and tripe soup and teriyaki. The food came out pretty fast. But the server wasn't very attentive and we would always have to call them if we needed anything. The ambiance is casual and seems like a cafeteria/ food court. The food though was very good, and the prices are cheap. It's definitely a good place for weekday lunch.

Was craving Vietnamese food and this hits the craving. Parking lot is a little chaotic when it's busy. Convenient location and very fast service!

Consistently good! Clean and roomy. I've been going since Covid because they were one of very few places open for dining- I can tell it's managed well. I've seen the staff clean and trim their veggies, definitely fresh.

I would give this place a 3.5/5, but rounding up. The steak and brisket pho actually tasted pretty good. The meat was tender and delicious, the broth is on the oilier side and had very typical pho broth.I liked how firm the noodles were, if that's your thing. I got the regular sized, and the portions were generous. The service and vibe of the restaurant is just ok, super casual. You choose where to sit and the menus are already on the tables. I would choose this place just for the convenience and if you're looking for a quick meal.

I love Pho, and there unfortunately aren't too many delicious places in Seattle/Eastside to fill this craving. So when I saw Pho Tai as a potential place to get this scrumptious noodle soup, I paid this restaurant a visit! I went on a Monday around dinner time (~7pm) and was promptly seated.The ambiance of the restaurant is casual with tables and booths lining the walls and middle of the restaurant. When I went, the service was very lax - seating was first come first serve, and you had the choice to pick wherever you wanted to sit. I initially wasn't sure if I was going to be served when I seated myself and was wondering if I needed to flag down a waiter to get a menu and my order in, but fortunately I didn't need to do any of that. As for paying the bill, you have to go up the register (at least for me) to do so.I got the number 17 large pho ($16) - the size was large, but I would say the actual size is something more of a medium bowl. This critique is based on other pho restaurants I've tried, and I was left wishing for a bit more in terms of size. The bowl was more like 25% meat (a couple of slices of steak/flank/brisket and a bit of tendon) and 75% noodles, which left me wanting a bit more in terms of protein. The broth had decent flavor and the warmth was much needed on the rainy day that I went.In the end, I would say that that though the flavors were decent, the price could be a bit better (maybe $2-3 cheaper per bowl), but that's just my opinion. Due to the limited options of pho on Eastside, Pho Tai would be a decent bet if you are looking to fill that pho craving for the time being.

There's good pho here, but the parking situation is horrendous as it shares the parking lot with the extremely busy Asian Family Market. Things that I noticed: clean tables, way too small napkins, nice background music, good pho broth.I got the seafood pho, which has shrimp, crab meat, squid, and scallop. I would recommend NOT getting the large since it's basically the same size as the regular but with more soup. Other than that, the pho was tasty.

I came here for lunch a few weeks back with my coworkers. It was my first time time visiting Pho Tai, and I was immediately impressed. The restaurant was quite busy but we found seating quickly. The server took our order within minutes of finding our table, which was pleasantly surprisingly considering how busy it was. When our food arrived, it was so beautifully put together that I just had to take a picture! It was soooo tasty and fresh. I highly recommend coming to Pho Tai if you're looking for a filling, delicious meal.

Pho is the best I have had in the area and I have been trying many places. Chicken pho has a tendency to be dry at all pho restaurants but it is NOT here. Broth is super good too. Prices are also the same or a little less than others. Parking can be tough and existing the Asian market complex has no easy way out with where it is located. Regardless, the taste is worth it. They are always friendly and happy to help. Ambiance is the same as every other pho restaurant. It is always clean as well.

Probably my most ordered on UberEats for 2023. Their chicken pho is my go to when I'm not feeling well or just need something warm. My order is always consistently tasty and packaged well. Love that they keep the jalapeños & sprouts separate so you can spruce it up how you like. One of these days I'll stop into the actual restaurant!

We tried their fresh lemonade and Pho Bo Vien! Soup broth was delicious with the perfect texture of the meat & noodles. Their lemonade was very refreshing and a good addition to the pho! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and they're dog-friendly!
